Abstract (en)

[origin: GB2422933A] A counter for a fluid flow meter comprises a count display device 30, a driving means 32 and mounting means 33 for mounting the driving means and count display device to a housing 16b of the fluid flow meter. The count display device 30 indicates a volume of fluid having passed through the meter and has a window 36 configured to seat sealingly in an aperture in the housing. The driving means 32 drives the count display device 30 and comprises a load-bearing frame 40a having a gear train mounted thereto. The mounting means is configured to bias the counter toward the aperture to seal the window 36 thereon, and to provide a biasing force to a portion of the load-bearing frame. The frame is configured such that the biasing force is prevented from affecting relative alignment of gears of the gear train.
